SURPLUS is my brand-new learning platform for chefs.
The platform is designed for chefs by a chef, and it brings together years of my expertise from food waste training and consulting around the world, so all of my existing content is now in one place, in your pocket.
Here is what you will find inside the SURPLUS app:
A searchable catalogue of byproducts with upcycling tips
Ever wondered about how to make the most of your ingredients, but you couldn’t find any quick and realistic tips? If your answer is yes, upcycling just got a lot easier.
In SURPLUS, you can search for the product you are looking to upcycle in the extensive catalogue of byproducts which contains a variety of tips on how to make the most of every ingredient. No random tips from Google, only real, tried and tested tips that have been applied in kitchens around the world.
A library of zero-waste recipes
If you need new inspiration for zero-waste cooking, you will find it in the library of my zero-waste recipes. I always say that zero-waste cooking is not about the recipes, as any recipe can be adapted to reduce food waste (more on that inside the SURPLUS), but a few recipes can nudge you in the right direction. All the recipes are my own and have been tried and tested in operations across the world.
Food waste prevention courses built for chefs
When I say ‘built for chefs’, I mean it. Forget boring online courses with lengthy videos and a bunch of fluff. Say hello to short and engaging videos that chefs enjoy watching.
These videos are direct to the point, short and engaging, so you won’t be falling asleep while trying to learn something new. You can expand your skills quickly and learn at your own pace.
And the best part? My Food Waste Prevention Course for Chefs is now CPD-accredited, meaning you can get certified in food waste prevention with a CPD certificate.
Downloadable resources, worksheets and kitchen posters
If you want to step out of the digital world, you can download and print any of the resources. Think sample zero-waste menus, worksheets for food waste prevention plans, or kitchen posters to spread the word about food waste prevention in your kitchen, that are already used in hundreds of kitchens around the world.
Quick wins and best practices
No time to complete a course or scroll in the library? No problem. You can find quick wins and best practices for all types of food waste, in a single tap, all neatly organized per food waste category.
Deep-dive into circular menu engineering
Food waste prevention starts with the menu engineering, so if you want to learn the secrets of a circular menu that prevents food waste by design, you are at the right place. You will find a full breakdown of a zero-waste menu, with a deep-dive into every single component and explanation of every detail. Learn how to engineer your menus for food waste prevention and stay a step ahead of the game.
Live Q&A sessions for direct support
Once a month, I do a live Q&A session open to all members of SURPLUS, so I can answer every chef’s question directly, and I can help you make the most of the membership.
Weekly members-only newsletter
Forgot to log in to SURPLUS for a while? No problem. Exclusive content comes to your email once a week, so food waste prevention is never forgotten about, even if the days are busy. You can always read through all the important tips and updates on new content in less than 5 minutes, directly in your inbox.
And the best part? This is only the beginning. A lot more is coming to SURPLUS so stay tuned for all the updates.
